REACH CDC opened the second phase of its Orchards at Orenco project in August, adding 58 units of workforce housing (44 are 1-bedroom and 14 are 2-bedroom units) on the Max light rail line in Hillsboro. Through the design and development of this project, REACH has become a national expert on Passive House construction for larger scale multifamily. This building mode provides far greater energy efficiency and higher indoor air quality than typical construction modes. The first phase of this development included 57 units, and the third and final phase will include 52 units (including both 2- and 3-bedroom units).
